WHEN SECRETS COME OUT

I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER

CHAPTER 2

It was early in the morning outside the Malfoy mansion. In the garden are two blond headed people talking over tea and biscuits. It looks like a nice and relaxing tea with polite conversation.

Unfortunately the conversation was anything but relaxing.

Draco Malfoy was talking to his mother about which side he wanted to be on during the war. Draco thought long and hard about the decision he had to make. One of the biggest factors in the choice was the fact that his father was dead because of Voldemort.

After explaining the choice he made to his mother they were now talking about the best way to go about joining the light side.

"Mother, I agree that we will need to talk to Dumbledore about which side we are going to be on. I'm not sure that happened at the end of the school but, I know that Harry was really upset with Dumbledore. I think it might be in our best interest to make sure we can trust him before we approach him." Draco said.

"Harry? Since when do you call the Potter by his first name?" His mother asked.

"Harry and I have a truce and have been friends for months. We have been talking when no one is around." He informed his mother.

"Are you sure you can trust him? I mean you two have a lot of history of not getting along?"

His mother asked.

"Mother this the golden boy we are talking about here. If we can't trust Harry I'm, not sure that there is anyone we can trust. Can you honestly say that after all the times Harry stopped the Dark Lord that he would ever join Voldemort now?" Draco asked.

"I guess you are right. When are you planning on talking to Potter?" Narcissa Malfoy asked.

"I will send him an owl to make arrangement to see him tonight. That way I can get this whole mess settled." Draco said then he politely excused himself from the table.

Back at Private Dr. Harry was all alone in the house the Dursleys were gone for the day doing whatever they did when they were out. Most likely spending a lot of money on something Dudley would play with for a couple of hours before he broke it.

Harry was busy doing all the chores the rest of the family wouldn't do. He washed the dishes, mowed the lawn pulled all the weeds out of the flower garden. When he was finally done with his list of things to do for the day, he headed up the stairs to get cleaned up. He was surprised to find that it was almost time for Moony to arrive. He was starting to get nervous about the talk that was now fast approaching. He quickly grabbed as change of clothes and headed to the bathroom to get cleaned up.

Harry had finished with his shower. He headed to his room to get his letter that his mother left him in his vault. It was now time to make the first step that would change in his life forever. He was looking in his trunk for the letter that has been in there since he was eleven. He was shutting the lid of his trunk when he saw an owl fly in his window.

Harry was watching the owl preening itself in the most arrogant fashion. He had a good idea who the owl belonged to. ' This owl had to be from Draco no one else would have such a vain owl. I wonder what he is writing me? ' Harry open the letter and quickly read it.

Harry;

I know you are wondering what I am doing writing you. I really need to talk to you as soon as possible. A lot of things have happed this summer. I will be at your house tonight at midnight. If you can't make it please send me a time that will be better for you.

Draco

PS. If it would make you feel more comfortable feel free to have someone we both can trust there as well.

Harry didn't have time to think about what Draco might need to talk to him about. What was so important that he felt he need to come to a muggle house in the middle of the night? He was just getting over his shock of getting a letter when the doorbell rang.

Harry quickly put both of the letters into his pocket and went to answer the door. When he opened the door for Moony he was more than a little nervous because he was not sure how to tell his fathers best friend that everything about his life was more or less a lie. So he took a deep breath and opened the door.

When the door opened Remus was a little surprised to see Harry looking scared. No, I guess I wouldn't call him scared more like he was unsure about what he was doing. Hoping to make Harry a little more comfortable he gave Harry a hug and said. " So Cub would you like to go to get some lunch first or would you prefer to talk first?"

Harry gave Moony a grateful smile and requested that they eat first. Harry told him that he knew where there was a nice little café a couple of blocks away that they could pick up some good food that didn't cost an arm or a leg. Then they preceded to walk toward the café. On the short walk they talked about little things like the weather and how nice it was to a break from school for the summer. An hour later they walked back to the Dursleys's house and sat at the kitchen table sipping in tea. Remus was a little worried about what he was going to find out from Harry. It seemed as though Harry was trying to put off talking about whatever it was that he wanted to talk with him about. Remus was about to suggest they go for a walk in the park to give Harry some time to gather his thoughts when Harry began to talk.

"Moony I am glad you came over today. There is something really important I need to tell you. I already told Sirius and he said he has a plan to help me with my problem. The thing is now that he is gone I still don't know how to deal with the situation." Harry said.

"Harry, it's ok whatever your problem is we will find a way to deal with it together. It might not be the same way Padfoot would have dealt with it but we are in this together."

'

"Ok I guess I should start at the beginning. I always knew I was different more so than you might have guessed. My Aunt and Uncle always thought I was a freak because of the magic we can do. Their first rule has always been not to ask questions. So I knew better than to talk to them about any of the questions I had. So I never had any answers to my questions until Hagrid took me to my vault the first time. Found a letter in my vault that answered a lot of the questions had. The letter was from my mum." Harry started

"Lily left you a letter? Why is this the first time I have heard about this? Does Dumbledore know? What did it say?" The news about a letter from Lily was making moony's head spin he was asking questions faster then anyone could hope to answer.

"Calm down Moony. I will answer all your questions but, please calm down." Harry said a little worried Moony was the most levelheaded person he knew and for hin to start losing it was a little too much for him to deal with.

Remus realized that he had started shouting out questions instead of waiting calmly for Harry to get everything said. "You are right I guess I got a little carried away there."

"It's all right. I was a little surprised when I got the letter. Yes I got a letter from Mum. In the letter she asked me not to tell anyone That's why no one knows about the letter." Harry told him.

"What did the letter say?" Moony asked.

"The letter more or less explains why I have been . . . I mean my life ha been more or less a lie." Harry said

"What do you mean your life has been a lie?" Moony asked confused.
